The Blues offered £10million plus Juan Mata or David Luiz for the 'angry and confused' striker

Jose Mourinho has opened the bidding for Wayne Rooney by offering £10million plus Juan Mata or David Luiz.

Manchester United have rejected the bid, but the offer will astonish Blues' fans as Mata was the club's player of the year last season.

Since Mourinho's arrival rumours have persisted that the Special One is willing to allow the 25-year-old to leave.

Barcelona have been following the situation involving Mata throughout the summer, but now it is believed the Spaniard is one of two players that Mourinho is prepared to sacrifice in order to land Rooney.
